Chad Cornes to join SEN SA Breakfast in 2026

Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) has announced that Chad Cornes will join the SEN SA Breakfast lineup next year, teaming up with Mark Bickley and Jarrod Walsh.

Launching on Tuesday 10 February, 2026, Breakfast with Bicks, Chad and Walshy will bring together three of South Australia’s most passionate sporting voices for a uniquely local breakfast program.

Cornes – the Port Adelaide great known for his fierce Showdown rivalry and on-field fire – said he’s ready to bring that same intensity to the airwaves.

“I can’t wait for 2026 – I get to sit next to one of the Crows’ greatest ever in Bicks every morning.  It’s going to be fun, fiery and full of footy – I can’t wait.”

Bickley said the new brekky combo is bound to spark some compelling radio.

“Chad and I have had plenty of battles on the field – and I’ve got no doubt we’ll have a few on air too – but that’s what makes it exciting. We both love footy, love this state and love a good debate.  With Walshy keeping us in line, it’s going to be a cracking show.”

SEN CEO Craig Hutchison said “This is a dream breakfast combination for South Australian sports fans. Chad brings passion and edge, Bicks brings class and insight, and Walshy ties it all together with energy and connection from a fan’s perspective. The Showdown spirit will be alive and well every morning, and we think listeners are going to love it.”

Breakfast with Bicks, Chad and Walshy will air weekdays from 6am on SEN SA 1629am and can also be streamed via the SEN App.
